[Inpycon] On using QR codes for sponsor-participant contact exchange.

[Haris Ibrahim K. V.]

Actually, thanks for bringing that up. We might have overlooked that
thinking printing is all that needs to be done. If the app cannot
understand the QR code, then all is lost.

We will definitely try a few sample prints and make sure the quality
is upto the mark.

I think the attendees will write their names on their respective
badges after they do registration at the counter. So printing QR on
the badge before hand might not work. As you said, I think going with
the approach of sticking it onto their badge before handing them out
would work better.

As for the schedule being printed, my vote would be to have about 2000
copies of the schedule taken on A4s and leave the pile on the
registration desk for the attendees to take for themselves, but I am
open to anything there. We'll decide on this once the badge printing
comes into picture.
